Is anyone interested in learning how to build the drying chamber shown in the photos? I designed, built, and closely documented every step. There are extensive photos for just about every step and it comes with a materials list, setup time, tools needed, and applications. This drying chamber can be built, depending on the size, for less than $30.00 and is extremely durable.

This drying chamber is full customizable to any size tub and is only limited by the depth.

depends on how many trays you got...10-12 ounces before drying equals what??? 12 * 28 grams/ounce / .90 (since you lose 90% of the weight) 12 ounces drying at 1 time with desiccant I'm sure...ummm...still a while to dry...a long while unless you can tell me your shit dries in 4 hours

The purpose of this drying chamber is to dry large quantities at one time. It will not perform as quickly as a dehydrator, but insures that the drying process starts at the same time for all of your mushrooms.

your planning to dry 12 ounces in that hooptie in an hour and a half? not gonna happen man and i'd love to see you throw out 12 dry ounces. good idea but you can buy a dehydrator for that price and it takes up alot less room and is much quicker.

one more question. what benifit if any is there to drying your mushrooms at once? are you planning on eating 12 O's at once? i mean if i had 12 ounces wet i bet i could dry them faster by doing a couple runs in the dehydrater than it would take to dry in a desiccant chamber.

he wasnt saying he could dry 12 ounces in 1 1/2 hours. he was saying it took that long to build it. Oh and some people like to build stuff and call it their own instead of buying it off ebay and using to bash others ideas.

Let's see... 12 ounces, before drying...I'll venture a guess. 12 ounces? 12x28=336 grams... Still don't see your point. 336/.9 (for drying)let's just go with 10% and say he'll end up with 33.6 grams....What does that have to do with his desiccant chamber? I may be confused, call me crazy.

Thanks for all the positive feedback people. For those of you who want to buy a dehydrator, go for it. I take pride in building things that will work for what I want it to. If you don't like my idea, than don't use it. It's okay. That's why I started this thread.

I'll bet someone criticized the other teks that are in use today. It's all good. I definitely agree with the Negative Nancy though.
